Partnering For Success

In order to have the greatest impact on the health and wellness of all Coloradans, we proudly support our private sector partners through program-related investments (PRI). We do that in one of two ways:

Mission-driven Investments: We support nonprofits and private sector companies in their charitable or mission-related activities with financial returns that are secondary and below market.

Multi-sector Engagement: We actively engage with a robust network of private, government, philanthropic and nonprofit entities. Together, we are elevating health innovation engagement, grants and ecosystem development activities.

Investments such as these, and the resources they provide to the health care community, support our efforts to improve the health of all Coloradans.
